    How to place my CMB2 fields inside options page created by ‘add_options_page’ (wordpress native function) ? https://scrnli.com/DN9ksKz3kurjP6

    Do I need more more advanced PHP (custom PHP class) than usual CMB2 parameter like custom ‘show_on_cb’ ?

    Let’s presume ‘show_on_cb’ will do the trick…

    First, as I mentioned, I created the options page by native WordPress function ‘add_options_page’ : 

        function pd_theme_settings_function() {
        add_options_page( 
            'Tytu?', 
            '_Ustawienia_Motywu_', 
            'manage_options', 
            'ustawienia_motywu',
            'theme_settings'
        );
    }
add_action('admin_menu', 'pd_theme_settings_function');

    …and I want CMB2 fields inside of it…

    ….so here is my attempt to use ‘cmb2_show_on’ filter : 

        function show_only_if_screen_id_equals_settings_page_ustawienia_motywu($display) {
        $screen = function_exists( 'get_current_screen' ) ? get_current_screen() : (object) array( 'id' => null );

        // Only show on our screen.
        if ( 'settings_page_ustawienia_motywu' !== $screen->id ) {
            return;
        }

        return $display;
    }
    add_filter( 'cmb2_show_on', 'show_only_if_screen_id_equals_settings_page_ustawienia_motywu', 10, 2 );

    ….and then I used it inside new_cmb2_box like so:

        $cmb = new_cmb2_box( array(
        'id'            => 'backlink_offer',  
        'title'         => 'fdsa',
        'object_types' => array( 'options-page', ), // Post type
		'show_on_cb' => 'show_only_if_screen_id_equals_settings_page_ustawienia_motywu',
        'capability'      => 'manage_options',
        'context'       => 'normal',
        'priority'      => 'low',
        'show_names'    => true, // Show field names on the left
    ) );

    ….nope….it does not work

    So I tried to utilize ‘Prefix_Add_CMB2_To_Settings_Page’ class form snipets library, namely:
    I tried to utilize ‘Prefix_Add_CMB2_To_Settings_Page’ class form snipets library

    …changing the $screen parameter to ‘settings_page_ustawienia_motywu’

    ….and then executing the function

    myprefix_cmb2_on_settings();

    But still no success…

    Any ideas how to make it work ?

    Thank you for the patience here @piotrdeja

    It looks like as a whole, it is possible to get the draggable metabox style on options pages, as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/8628307 but it’s going to be a bit messy, so to speak, with a bunch of hacking.

    Was hoping for a more elegant answer and solution, but some things even CMB2 can’t solve.

    Thank you very much, I will look into this code (https://stackoverflow.com/a/8628307) probably at the start of the next week, and post the results in this thread…

    To recap…

    As I mentioned, I want to make (please read carefully) separate metaboxes with CMB2 fields inside settings page like in the attached image here:
    https://github.com/piotrdejapl/pd_theme_settings_v2/blob/master/metaboxes.jpg

    As I understand, your initial intention was to make use complete solution for the above mentioned issue using CMB2 ^ONLY^…which turned out
    not to be possible.

    So now, my intention is to connect(fuse together) :
    1) the metaboxes code you privded here https://gist.github.com/bueltge/757903
    …and
    2) CMB2 fields

    This is my attempt in doing so:
    https://github.com/piotrdejapl/pd_theme_settings/blob/master/libs/admin-view.php

    …This plugin DOES SAVE cmb2 to wp_options under ‘my_metabox’, but still I’m not getting the saved data from the database…
    …any idea how to get the saved data inside CMB2 fields ?

    I assume you’re trying with myprefix_get_option or at least get_option() correct? I believe the myprefix_get_option function passes things through cmb2_get_option and tries to help with plucking out individual parts in deeper structures that can be created at times. However, not a required thing

    Thread Starter piotrdeja

    Nope, have not tried neither of those methods you suggested, I thought that cmb2_get_metabox() method would not only show the cmb2 field but insert the data from the database as well

    Just making sure I’m squared away for when I’ll be able to dive in a bit deeper.

    Your current final result is https://github.com/piotrdejapl/pd_theme_settings/blob/master/libs/admin-view.php

    And while it’s saving the values to the database like expected, it’s not displaying them back to you as filled in fields?

    Thread Starter piotrdeja

    (@piotrdeja)

    Yes! It shows empty field even though the value has been saved to the database.

    Noted, thank you. Will try to circle back as soon as I can again with this.

    I believe your usage of tralala is what’s throwing you off. I managed to get successful fetches of saved options by changing

    $cmb = cmb2_get_metabox( 'my_metabox', 'tralala' );

    to

    $cmb = cmb2_get_metabox( 'my_metabox' );

    in the on_save_changes() function as well as these changes for on_contentbox_1_content()

    cmb2_get_metabox( 'my_metabox', 'tralala', 'options-page' )->show_form();

    to

    cmb2_get_metabox( 'my_metabox', 'my_metabox', 'options-page' )->show_form();

    Hope that helps get you going some more here.

    Wow, it does indeed work as expected – the data appears in fields. The only detail is that the window ‘settings saved’ does not appear at the top after changes have been saved.

    I wonder if a do_action( 'admin_notices' ) needs to be added to your output.
